A False Start by Elsie Silver

5.0

Elsie silver does it yet again.

I wasn’t sure I was going to love this one as much as I did!

I will say there were a few things that bothered me, I didn’t like how often the age gap was brought up, but I still loved the book.

I also didn’t like that this made me SOB. In the best ways of course but sob nonetheless.

I feel like the drama with Tanya needed more justice, but it blowing up in her face more than made up for that. It just felt a little incomplete.

Nadia is probably one of my favorite FMCs Elsie has written. She’s fierce and loyal, but she’s had trauma and she is protective of herself. I wish all women could be a little more like Nadia. At least in terms of her determination.

And Griffin, Griffy, griff… swoon! Sure he has his insecurities, but he’s so freaking swoon worthy it’s not even funny. The wildflowers, I couldn’t stop crying with those pretty pink envelopes. And the silent I miss you’d from Nadia.

Ugh just thank you for this book. I’ve now read every single one Elsie has written and I can’t wait for more!
